Why Can’t the Secretary of the Army be a Veteran?
Washington Free Beacon ^ | Sept. 23, 2015 | Aaron MacLean

Looking at the results you would think the results of the Military Times survey of troop morale couldn’t possibly be accurate.

Released last December, the numbers were brutal. In response to the statement, “The senior military leadership has my best interests at heart,” only 17% agreed, down from 53% in a previous survey conducted in 2009.

As for, “Overall officers in the military are good or excellent,” only 39% agreed, down from 78% in the 2009 survey.

How anyone in their right mind would look to join today’s military — especially with democrats in charge — defies logic.

A veteran Secretary wouldn’t be objective about how the Army should be run.

“Why Can’t the Secretary of the Army be a Veteran?”

Yep.

The MSM need to be asking Obama this question.

We have good men and women in our military. They will outlast this kowtowing Muslim wimp in our White House and come out stronger, more patriotic and continue to be a threat to the traitors infesting our nation.

Wrong. A Veteran Secretary of the Army would know first hand what the Troops want and need, from personal experience.

The service secretaries are not cabinet level political appointees, they have the Secretary title because of the historical connections to the old Secretary of the Navy and Secretary of War, both cabinet officers. But, when the Department of Defense was formed only the Secretary of Defense was a member of the cabinet.

The service secretaries are administrative functionaries with few substantive duties. These jobs are a place to reward party political hacks, although the politicians used to at least have the decency to appoint veterans. Of course there are damned few veterans among political hacks these days, so it may be find to find a veteran. I don’t think that they have much problem finding a homosexual in Washington.
